Extract

One of the major limitations to increasing the polyunsaturated fatty acid (FA) composition of ruminant products is the fact that these FAs tend to get hydrogenated by rumen micro-organisms to more saturated end products (biohydrogenation). This experiment reports on the extent of FA biohydrogenation in the rumen of four diets of differing sources of long chain polyunsaturated FA (PUFA) as used by Scollan et al. (1997).
